Osseous tissue forms bones that allow the body to move by providing attachment sites for muscles and tendons to connect to. It also functions as structural support for the body’s interior structures, protects organs and tissues from harm, and serves as a site of mineral storage.

Elastic cartilage is identified by its dull yellow color. Its function is to change the shape of the cartilage in response to tension, compression, and bending before returning to its at-rest condition. It can be found in specific locations, primarily in the pinnae (or auricles) of the outer ear, where it helps to shape the folds that efficiently route sound waves towards the inner ear, as well as in the ear canal.
